; FOTD -- December 01, 2006 (Not Rated)
; 
; Fractal visionaries and enthusiasts:
; 
; Today's very fast image reminds me of the craters of the moon.  
; And this is what I named it.  I guess lunar craters are not 
; worth much because after careful consideration I decided not to 
; give it a rating.
; 
; The parent fractal came about when I combined 10 parts of 
; Z^(-0.3) with Z^3.4 and added (1/C).  This parent fractal 
; appears as a small Mandelbrot set surrounded by a field of 
; disconnected satellite areas of chaos.  Today's image is located 
; in a remote satellite far to the northeast of the central M-set.
; 
; The ring-like effect that reminds me of craters was created by 
; calculating the image with the outside set to 'tdis'.  I believe 
; this option measures the total distance the points travel before 
; they escape.  The other outside options give images that are too 
; chaotic.
; 
; The image is a very fast one, taking only 1 minute on my tired 
; old machine.  It will go even faster on the SOTA units that are 
; able to run Fractint and also display the DOS VESA video modes.  
; Those who do not render may see the image by going to the FOTD 
; web site at:
; 
;        <http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/FotD/FotD.html>
; 
; and viewing it there.
; 
; Thick clouds and a mild temperature of 61F 16C prevailed here at 
; Fractal Central on Thursday.  The fractal cats made the most of 
; the situation by trashing another newspaper.  They were quite 
; hungry when the time for a treat arrived.
; 
; My day was a little busier than yesterday, but still on the slow 
; side.  The idle times verged on boredom.  I am getting impatient 
; with the slowness of the recovery from the injury of 7 weeks 
; ago.  But luckily, it is not possible to get excessively bored 
; in a world filled with fractals.  The next FOTD will appear in 
; 24 hours.  Until then, take care, and look up.
